Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 2-inch pieces for uniform cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the slices of prosciutto to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are crispy. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Once cool, crumble or chop the prosciutto into small pieces.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the fresh sage leaves. Fry them for 1-2 minutes per side until fragrant and crispy. Remove the sage leaves and set them aside on the paper towel with the prosciutto.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, and milk in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Do not bring it to a boil.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Gradually stir in the warm butter, cream, and milk mixture. Continue mixing until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Season the mashed potatoes with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Gently fold in the crispy prosciutto pieces, reserving a small portion for garnish.
Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving dish. Top with crispy sage leaves and the remaining bits of prosciutto for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your Prosciutto Sage Mashed Potatoes!
